"No big accidents happened this time, so the rest of the itinerary remains unchanged and is still about exploring unreached areas."
Finn concluded, "But this time before heading to the 59th floor, we still have an adventurer mission to complete."
Adventurer's commission refers to the general term for the commissions issued to adventurers by guilds, chambers of commerce, various families, and other entities. As long as the commission is completed, you can receive generous rewards from the trustee.
The person who issued the request to the Loki Familia this time was the Dean Kessite Familia. Because they often cooperated with the Loki Familia, it was difficult to refuse. The content of the request was to go to the Cadmus Spring on the 51st floor to obtain a certain amount of spring water.
.
Finn finally decided to divide a small number of elites into two groups to carry out the mission. One group was Finn, Gareth, Bert, and Raul, and the other group was Ais, Tiona, Tione, and Lefia.
Riveria did not attend.
She consumed a lot of mental energy in the previous breakthrough battle on the 49th floor, and is now recovering. In addition, in order to consider the subsequent development plan for the 59th floor, she also needs to get enough rest.
"Rivelia just stay at the stronghold."
"no way."
These things have nothing to do with a lv.2 weakling like Jiang Li.
Even for the subsequent pioneering operation on the 59th floor, only a few elites such as cadres will go there, and the remaining members will only stay on the 50th floor.
Because starting from the 51st floor, the difficulty of exploration will increase significantly, and there will even be monsters of level 5 and above. The danger factor will be even higher. Apart from necessary supporters and mobile turrets like Lefiya, it is almost a low-level
Adventurers don't bring it.
Basically, Jiang Li's expedition is over here, and his focus now should be on how to improve his proficiency as much as possible on the return journey.
After dinner, everyone dispersed.
The patrol team walked around the stronghold, while Finn, Ais and others organized and set off, heading to the 51st floor through the flat cave. Jiang Li and the remaining people went back to rest.
"Um……"
Jiang Li stood on the edge of the stronghold, looking at the passage in the distance.
Inside the flat cave is the ramp leading to the 51st floor. Finn and the others just went down there not long ago.
"What are you doing standing here?"
The unique cold voice of the elves came from behind.
Riveria wore the green magic robe and came to Jiang Li's side.
Seeing that Jiang Li had no intention of going back to the tent to rest, Riveria took the initiative and walked over.
"I have a bad feeling."
"Bad feeling?"
Riveria reacted to Jiang Li's words.
She learned from Lefiya that the reason why they were able to detect the Ista Familia's conspiracy in time last time was because of Jiang Li's premonition. During this expedition, Jiang Li also predicted the appearance of monsters several times.
Finn was full of praise for his premonition of crisis and believed that he even had the qualities to become the heir to the group leader.
Because Finn himself has the ability to predict crises similar to Jiang Li, and has avoided countless crises through this ability.
Riveria took the bad premonition Jiang Li said very seriously at this moment.
"Are you referring to Finn and his friends?"
"It's hard to say. I just feel that there is danger approaching from below."
Is there danger approaching? Coming up?
Could it be that the monsters from below have migrated up?
It is true that the 50th floor is a safe floor, but just like there are a large number of monsters from the 19th floor in the northern wetland on the 18th floor, there may also be monsters from 51 coming to the 50th floor.
"Everyone gather and prepare defensive formations!"
Without hesitation, Riveria immediately turned to face the camp and gave a sharp shout.
Everyone in the camp reacted quickly, walked out of the tent nervously, took out their weapons from their packages, came to the front of the camp, and formed a defensive formation.
The reaction was as fast as a well-trained soldier, because everyone knew that a huge threat that could cause them heavy casualties could appear at any time deep in the underground city.
"At this scale, it would be almost difficult to deal with swarms of high-level monsters."
Riveria returned to the center of the camp, protected by everyone in the middle. She looked around at the team composed of a large number of lv.3 and lv.4, with a worried look on her face.
Because of the commission, almost all the cadres came out. There is not even a lv.5 here. Facing the hordes of lv.4 monsters, once it is lost, it will mean casualties.
"How about preparing your magic first?"
"...That's all we can do, come and give me a signal."
Riveria thought for a moment and decided to listen to Jiang Li's opinion.
She raised her favorite wand. The hard wand was inlaid with nine magic gems, which could enhance the power of magic to the extreme. It was one of the highest-standard wands in the lower world. Its name was Magna Ivey.
S.
It was made by a blacksmith from the magical country of Altina, and it is very suitable even for use as a staff. It is said that with Loki's help in negotiating the price, it was bought for a high price of 340 million mana.
Jiang Li tried to empty his mind as much as possible, ignoring the interference of some noise and lights, and focused his judgment on his intuition.
He could clearly sense that a very terrifying threat was approaching the 50th floor at an extremely fast speed.
"Chant!"
Jiang Li suddenly shouted.
"——The harbinger of the end, the white snow. Facing the dusk, let the strong wind roll up!"
Riveria didn't hesitate and immediately started chanting the magic incantation.
The magic used was different from the previous one on the 49th floor. Jiang Li didn't recognize this magic, but let's trust Riveria's judgment here. With her accomplishments, she should be able to complete the chant in about a minute.
A dazzling golden magic circle emerged from Riveria's feet, completely illuminating this dim space.
"Um?"
Jiang Li suddenly focused his eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his expression.
"Danger is approaching quickly. The opponent is accelerating. Be careful and prepare for the impact!"
"clear!"
After Riveria started singing, the crisis he sensed suddenly accelerated, reaching its climax in just a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the monster appeared in front of everyone.
"What, that is?"
"Mao, caterpillar...?"
That's a huge monster.
The whole body is yellow-green, and the soft green skin looks very soft. It is covered with thick and bright colored stripes, which makes people know that it is very toxic at a glance.
Its lower body has countless short legs, its upper body rides on its lower body and stands upright like a hill, with thin flat organs extending to the left and right.
As soon as it emerged from the flat cave, the huge caterpillar monster immediately looked this way, as if it was attracted by something, then straightened its body and squirmed over quickly.
Immediately afterwards, caterpillar monsters appeared from behind one after another, impressing everyone's eyes, and the formation was so dense that it made people's scalp numb.
"Doesn't it look very strong?"
"The feeling of oppression is far different from Fermorby!"
"We can handle it too!"
Although it is a giant monster, the high-level adventurers of the Loki Familia are really not afraid of this kind of thing. Who has never killed hundreds of giant monsters? The green caterpillar, which is seriously lacking in pressure, is obviously not enough to scare everyone.
Just as he was talking, the front of the camp had already come into contact with the caterpillar monster.
"Wait a minute, don't approach rashly——"
"Uhhhhh!!"
Before Jiang Li could finish his words, screams suddenly came from the front.
